Open-Minded Crafting Fun Challenge #6 - Seasons/Holidays

Good morning!! Happy 10th of the month!!  Today is a new challenge over at Open-Minded Crafting Fun. We are on Challenge #6, which has a theme of Seasons/Holidays. You can create anything for any holiday or any season. I can't wait to see what everyone creates! We will hopefully have a wide variety of items!

Our wonderful sponsors for June are:



We love our sponsors!! Please sure to show them the love!! They are so appreciated for all they do! Thank you!!

This challenge was a perfect excuse to create a Christmas card :)  So, that is exactly what I did:










For this one I started with my image from DigiStamps4Joy - Nativity Globe. The image was colored using Copic Markers. I did a bit of layering as well. I wanted to create a shaker with it, but then what to do with the shaker. I decided to put it on an easel card. The background of the globe image was created using Distress Ink. I created the snow flakes using Copic Opaque White. I've added some seed beads, star sequins and gold and white sequins on the inside of the shaker. I used some Wink of Stella on the star at the top. I've used all paper scraps. The metal tag says Merry Christmas and I've used some Alcohol inks to color it. I have also added some doodling on the bottom panel. I also doodled "a Savior is Born".  I also added a couple of rhinestone stars there as well. There are some stickers on the sides - the cross and the poinsettia. I added a bit of ribbon as well.

Copic Markers Used:
    • Manger: E31, E35, E37
    • Hay: Y00, Y21, Y32
    • Skin: E000, E00, E01, E02, E11
    • Blanket: E0000, E000, E02
    • Star: Y00, Y11, Y15, Y19
    • Base & Globe: Y00, Y11, Y15, Y19, YR23

Christmas Bear

Good morning! I hope you all had a WONDERFUL Christmas!! We had a really nice Christmas with the family. Michael had to work on Christmas day, so I took him down to see my sister and mother on Christmas Eve. He opened all his gifts and was able to spend time with them. Bailey is in California of course, with her father. On Christmas Day, we dropped Michael off at work and then headed down to my sisters. We spent a lot of the day down there. We had lobster tails and steak for dinner. It was beautiful! Then we headed home, thinking that we had to pick up Michael a little after 4 pm. He didn't get home until much later.

Then on Sunday night my oldest daughter came back. She had an eye appointment yesterday. She has some holes in her retina which can cause a retinal detachment if not treated. She will need to get laser surgery on her eyes. She also has to do some special testing on her eyes. She is going to Colorado right after the 1st of the year, so her test is set up for the 12th after she returns. Then the first eye will have surgery on the 26th and the 2nd eye will be done on February 9th. She has always had terrible eyes.

And after spending the day with Taylor I realized she has this terrible cough. When I asked her how long she has had it she says.. a while! So I told her I was going to try to get her in to see the doctor today. I'm just waiting until they are there to call in. I'm hoping they can get her in this morning. I know she wants to go back home. So that is it for us. I'm trying to enjoy my last week off. Getting the Open-Minded Crafting Fun challenge ready for the 10th of January and trying to get some crafting and coloring done.

Here is my share this morning:








For this card I've used Gift Stack Teddy which you can find in the From The Heart Shop. I've colored the image with my Copic Markers. I've done a small bit of layering. I've also used some clear Wink of Stella to give some of the gifts sparkle. I did a bit of distressing on the papers. All of these papers are scraps. I did a bit of hand stitching on the image. I used Snow Marker for the white parts of the hat to add some dimension there. I added a charm there as well. I've added some thread with beads and bells across the top of the card. I also added two light blue snowflake eyelets. I used the same papers, all distressed, on the inside as well.

Copic Markers Used:
  • Bear: B21, B23, B24
  • Red Hat, Ribbon and Gift Wrap: R20, R22, R24, R29
  • Gold Wrap: Y00, Y11, Y15, YR23
  • Silver Wrap: C00, C1, C3, C5
  • Blue Wrap: B0000, B00, B02, B04
  • Green Wrap: G21, G24, G28
  • Pink Wrap: RV21, RV23, RV29
  • Purple Wrap: BV02, BV04, BV08

Welcome to Thursday :)  We begin a new challenge at Meljen's Designs today and it is Challenge #156 - Recycle. Here is my card for this challenge:


The image I used is Teddy Bear Couple. For my "Recycle" I used a bottle cap. I added small beads to the inside around the edge and in the middle after I added the "Happy Anniversary" sentiment.

Challenges:
This has been a week... I had to move from my super cushy corner closet at work LOL It was literally a supply closet that they put me in and it was my little sanctuary for a couple of years. Oh, I loved my little quiet space away from everyone. But, as we have run out of space and continued to hire a bunch of chiefs, I have been moved out and into a cubicle. Everyone is so loud and rude LOL But then... I'm just bitter because I had to move to a much more populated, loud and not so private area. I will adjust, but until then I will complain a little LOL About people sneaking up behind you and just standing there all creeper like! I brought a mirror in so I could see them coming up behind me! Okay.. I'm done venting :p  Like I said.. I will adjust.. after I put some beads up in my doorway LOL!!! Alright.. I'm really done :p  Alright everyone!! Get busy with the challenge this week :)  I can't wait to see some great designs!!

Have a great rest of your week everyone!! And Happy Crafting!!
